THE WEST. HE CONTINUED THAT BEACH COLONY IS TO BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONCEPT AND IS TO BE A VERY HIGH VALUE PROJECT, AT LEAST COMPARABLE T0, IF NOT BETTER THAN, JOHNS ISLAND. ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT THE COMMISSION, SOME MEETINGS AGO, AUTHORIZED THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND ATTORNEYS TO WORK ON A DRAFT OF A SITE PLAN ORDINANCE AND ESTABLISH A THRESHOLD TO HELP THE COUNTY IN DEALING WITH LARGE PROJECTS. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD WELCOME FLORIDA LAND COMPANY'S INPUT INTO THE FORMATION OF THIS ORDINANCE. CHAIRMAN LYONS ASKED MR. CLARK IF THE BOARD WERE TO GO AHEAD ON RIVER BEND, AND IN THE MEANTIME THIS ORDINANCE WERE ADOPTED, WHETHER HE WOULD BE AMENABLE TO COMING UNDER SUCH AN ORDINANCE IF THE THRESHOLD WERE SUCH THAT THE COUNTY WOULD ASK FOR A BINDING LETTER. MR. CLARK NOTED THAT THEY WOULD COME UNDER THE LAW OF THE LAND, BUT VENTURED THE OPINION THAT THE LOCAL BOARD IS MORE QUALIFIED TO REVIEW THE LOCAL IMPACT DATA AND THAT THEY SHOULD KEEP LOCAL CONTROL. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT, BASED UPON THE PRESENTATION MADE HERE TODAY, HE WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE AGENT OR OWNERS TO APPLY FOR A REZONING OF THAT PROPERTY POST HASTE. DISCUSSION CONTINUED ABOUT A DENSITY OF S OPPOSED TO A DENSITY OF 6, AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THE PLANNING DIRECTOR CANNOT MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION UNTIL THE STAFF HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW; HE, THEREFORE, FELT THAT WE ARE JUST SPINNING OUR WHEELS BECAUSE WE CANNOT TAKE ANY ACTION TODAY, AND THE PLANNING DIRECTOR IS WAITING FOR DIRECTION. COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THAT HE WAS IN FAVOR OF MR. REVER PROCESSING THE APPLICATION, AND COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK STATED HE WAS AGAINST IT EXCEPT AT 6 UNITS AN ACRE. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ALSO FAVORED THE LOWER DENSITY. MR, REVER COMMENTED THAT HE WAS HEARING THE BOARD SAY THAT WE SHOULD START WORKING WITH THEM AND THEN WHEN THE REZONING COMES UP, WE WILL SEE IF IT IS ACCEPTABLE OR NOT ACCEPTABLE.
